AMD To Cut HD 3650 & 3850 Prices In Early March

jmke · 27th February 2008, 22:19

AMD plans to cut the prices of the Radeon HD 3650 and HD 3850 in early March by as much as 20%. The reduction is to better position their products against the GeForce 9600 GT. There will be some price cut on the HD 3870 as well but not too substantial. Also the HD 3870 X2 will come along with the new PLX chip that supports PCI Express 2.0 somewhere in April. We can expect healthy inventory of the HD 3000 series in the market by March.

AMD is pulling a fast one on NVIDIA like they did with Intel back in the A64 days? Undercutting the competition in price for on par products, making them a better deal. Let's just hope they don't too much into their profit margin, otherwise their R&D has no resources for next gen :/

They have had plenty of experience (Good, and more recently bad) playing the pricing game, would hope they would know how to play that game well by now.
